What happens on this site are certain usual suspects are all over Iron bru when things are looking dire. Come the good or more optimistic times they disappear. They don’t post ‘excited’ thoughts,but words of caution and pessimism. Two different extremes as you say- I lean more towards the optimistic angle. Everyone to their own,Deeryme66.
Which is fine, but there comes a time when such optimism is misplaced and can cause glib dismissals of genuine concerns. I get that some people lean towards the negative too soon, as was seen last week with some (and I by no means everyone who aired anything not totally positive) disparaging Hilton and Dean. However, some turned a blind eye to Swann for too long, after it was obvious he was no longer interested and harming the club, going so far as to blame fans for the tough times. Others made unfounded accusations that any criticism of Swann must have been because of jealousy and hatred for his wealth.
Trying to find a measured and balanced standpoint can be hard for everyone, and we can all lean one way harder than the other, without consideration of what might contradict our impulsive thoughts. I am no less prone to this than others, I am sure. However, it’s not just the overly negative critics who present this bias, as was shown with the Swann mess and some sticking their heads in the sand for too long.

I was expecting us to be able to attract the very best as a club in the National league relegation spots. Disgraceful! :-)

I blame net zero, scroungers, the EU, immigrants on dinghies and whatever scapegoat I can find. It can’t be the fault of the party of (no) responsibility in any major way.

‘Sovereignty’! Ha ha!! Someone on BBC News listing the reasons she voted Leave can’t even pronounce it properly. What a joke.
I don’t want to be too snobbish about it. I can understand the sovereignty argument. At the same time, there are many who have portrayed it solely as such when they made economic arguments themselves, and hide behind the sovereignty canard to dismiss any economic concerns, which I find risible.

Don’t forget it was all about sovereignty for everyone, right from the start. Which is why they often focussed their arguments on economic booms and opportunities from Brexit.
Oh, and it’s ok because you should see how bad it is comparably in Germany and France, who are much worse than us, in the EU bloc which will crumble any day now:

I would definitely like to hear from Paul Hurst and Neil Cox now. I don’t expect them to open up, but it would be very interesting.

Maybe, but it’s early days. In a matter of two days we’ve gone from “he’s a shyster we cannot trust” because of Dean getting the managerial role and the handling of Nelson, from some to maybe he’s great.
This is a good sign, but I think it will take time before we truly know. Be happy that things look positive, but some perspective is needed.

Cryptic fear mongering is tedious.

Shut up bloody moaning, going down anyway, it’s all about next season, as for Humberside, great piece of journalism, keep us informed about the club as soon as you know anything, ta.
I get disappointment over Nelson, but the grumbling about Dean has been OTT. He has a good record, yet people are speaking as if it doesn’t matter and comparing it negatively to Nelson. Nelson’s done well, but his record is one good month or two. If Dean’s record is concerning, then Nelson’s is too. There have been many times we have had coaches who made a good start only to fall away. Especially for the inexperienced.
This isn’t meant to do Nelson down, he’s done a great job, but he is still a gamble.

Hopefully that allows us to move on from this little blip.

That’s what I mean. I get the original irritation, but surely there’s no need now I said it was my own bad choice of wording, nothing more. I have no reason to label those charges against you, but realise my wording implied such.
Anyway, no point dragging this on any further from my end.

We could hire Bucks for every role. It’s doubtful anyone knows more about each and every role than him, since any point against his position is ‘daft’ or ‘ridiculous’ and relying on so called ‘experts’ over paying attention to the sole voice of reason. It would solve our overstaffing problem.
